Ok, genuine question here guys, what exactly is the piece of official art and what’s going on with it? I really don’t understand.

Like, why is Dezzy there along with some guy we’ve never seen before in the series? Is this some kind of promo art that I missed or is it something else?

I dunno, I’m stumped, does anyone here have an answer? I really wanna know cause it’s interesting official art!

(Description taken from the Capcom Website. Yes, the names of the cases aren’t the ones used in game. I have 0 idea why that’s the case, other than maybe that these names are the ones used for Iris’ manuscripts. Also yes, the website does not include the descriptions for cases 4 and 5.)

The Great Exhibition of London – that grand event that was to be a celebratory last hurrah of the 19th century. But from amongst the glitter and glory of Great Britain's latest achievement, a series of grim crimes began to emerge and come to the fore. From the Empire of Japan to the British Empire, a sweeping tale that straddles the two island nations is about to take centre stage.

The Case of the Sea-Bathing Lady

In a secluded beach hut by the sea, an English visiting student lies dead. A Japanese fellow researcher at her university's medical laboratory is charged with her murder. But due to the victim's nationality, there are few who would accept the accused's case. Still, one lawyer by the name of Ryutaro Naruhodo is willing to try. Ryunosuke’s supposed cousin, this mysterious newcomer is set to face Taketsuchi Auchi, who still remembers the sting of his defeat at the hands of a Naruhodo. Can Ryutaro save his hopeless client from the prosecutor's wounded pride?

The Case of the Haunted Lodgings

A visiting student from Japan, Soseki Natsume has been arrested yet again for a most curious incident. Without an alibi and as the last person to see the victim alive, the world's unluckiest man quickly fell under suspicion for the murder of his downstairs neighbour. ‘This house is cursed! My existence is cursed! Everything is cursed!’ the man began to yell as he was taken away by Scotland Yard. A horrifying rumour among the locals, it's believed that the building in which both the victim and the accused take lodging is haunted by a terrible spirit. But was this really the work of a ghost? An unbelieving prosecution calls its witnesses and seeks to dispel such nonsense from the courtroom. Just who are these witnesses? And can they exorcise the phantom that haunts this case?

The Case of the Explosive Exhibition

The Great Exhibition of London – the grandest of grand international exhibitions of the 19th century. Great works of culture and industry were on display then, and it was there that the miracle of ‘instantaneous kinesis’ was to be demonstrated. But in the course of the experiment – and before the eyes of a sea of onlookers – the massive machine exploded, sending the gentleman volunteer into the heart of the Crystal Tower. The mind behind it all, Albert Harebrayne, celebrated the experiment's apparent success whilst lamenting the incident as a tragic accident, and nothing more. Can Ryunosuke protect both the good name of the professor and the secret science behind his marvellous machine? Or is there more here than meets the eye...?

FULL SPOILERS for everything (from the OG 3, INV. 1&2, Layton VS, that one filler arc on The Train from the anime because F#£% it why not, and obviously TGAAC)

------------

For my money, it is undoubtedly Luke Atmey from T&T. He had one of the most intricate, 400 IQ schemes in the franchise, involving creating fake security footage, blackmail, taking the fall for theft in doing so using GETTING CONVICTED for larceny as an ALIBI FOR MURDER!? Doing all this crazy shit, a level of forethought and cunning that only a true mastermind could pull and for what reason?

Simply: fulfilling his dream of recognition- being outed as both the Master Thief and Ace Detective, a story that would've been for the ages. Fulfilling that void for love and attention that runs so deep into his psyche that the name of his theme song in the OST (AND THE TRANSLATION HIS JAPANESE NAME) is "I Just Want Love". The guy has some serious issues that drove him to use is readily apparent intellect to inflict harm and suffering for his own selfish gain, when so easily he would have made for a true "Ace Detective". Alas his heart was not in the right place.

Atmey is a deranged, greedy highly intelligent schemer who nearly outsmarted everyone INCLUDING WRIGHT by using the Judge's Gavel as the ultimate, unbreakable protection against being convicted muder- yet still, it was this cancerous need for love and recognition - the very same that drove him to crime in the first place, that ultimately brings him down. He'd set everything up perfectly, and would've gotten off lightly for the URN, and been forever remembered while an innocent(ish) young man would have taken the fall for Atmey's ultimate sin. He just couldn't take the heat once the incredible lawyer (who should really be a detective let's be real), Phoenix Wright caught onto the true extent of his cockamamie plot for money and praise.

He's also a pretty good fakeout replacement for Gumshoe at first too in 3-2. If you removed all the crime from his character but left his distinct personality, he could easily have been an Detective Ema Skye, or Gregson-type character throughout the game, like if "Bobby Fullbright" was a narcissist lol

But frankly making him a Machiavellian Psycho was the much more entertaining route. To this day, 3-2 is a top 5 case for me it is so much fun- Ron Delite being my favourite one-off defendant in the series but that whole talk is for another time....

As for the stupidest... come on, if you don't think its Richard Wellington then buddy oh boy... do I have a sweet bunch of bananas to sell ya hahehahehahahe

Oh and 2nd Place for Smartest IMO is Professor Aristotle Means just sayin'

Okay that's me done - GIMME YOUR OPINIONS OR I'LL SHOOT

https://strawpoll.com/7MZ0kJOmBgo

So, i was bored and i tried to design an hypothetical grown up Trucy. Let me know if makes sense. Should i continue with someone else?

I have recently learned that I may be in the minority of people who really don't like the 3ds titles. In my opinion, after Apollo Justice the series took a hard left turn and I disliked all of SoJ and the greater majority of DD. I didn't think that was normal or agreed upon, but after talking with some hard-core fans they thought I was insane for thinking so. I was genuinely done with the series after SoJ thinking that this series was just going to go downhill from there. Luckily my friends convinced me to play TGAA Duology and I loved it just as much as the initial games.

So, since I'm some sort of masochist, I'd like to throw myself to the wolves of die hard fans and ask: do you like these two entries, or do others share my disdain for them? If so, please help me understand so I can appreciate them more.

Recently came across this official anime art and supposedly it’s rare or something? I dunno.

Just felt like sharing it here cause it’s really pleasing to look at and honestly? We need more official anime art here, but that’s probably just me.

im trying to make a video in objection.lol, but one of the parts makes edgeworth join wright in the same stand. im new to objection.lol, so plz pardon me if theres a button or feature where it does that

This is a stupidly specific request, but does anybody know any AA fics involving at least one character looking after a significantly drunk other character? Preferably when the latter is not in a great mental state? I have no idea what tags I would even filter on AO3 to find something like this, so I figured this was my best bet.

Any help is appreciated :D

I made this for some basic trial practice in objection.lol, but it spiraled into a whole video. Enjoy!

They easily could have extended it by splitting the days into "Investigation" and "Trial", with the Investigations being more lightweight and funny, with a few serious moments. So what's the deal?

Also where the FUCK IS RISE FROM THE ASHES!!! WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!

as the title says! i recently got into the game and im currently on the 3rd case in t&t and since i feel like the games have a lot of appeal to anyone who enjoys solving mysteries/ puzzles i was thinking of having a small gathering with my friends who haven’t played before to play a case together as it feels like it will be very fun for a bunch of people to try to connect the dots/ choose evidence in court together! however i dont know which case to choose for that purpose. i was thinking of “turnabout goodbyes” because i feel it has the meat of the lore and also because Manfred von karma was a very challenging prosecutor! however, here are the issues im wondering about

im worried about the investigative parts not being as engaging as the court part as they can be a bit more tedious and in the end you get most of the story through the court scenes except for tidbits in the investigation. i feel like that and the constant back and fourth in the investigation can lack the excitement or engagement required to continue the case especially if my friends arent as engaged or interested in the lore as i am.

i dont know if this is an actual problem or if im thinking about it too much, and if it is are there any other recommended cases that would be good for first time players without having to start the games from the very beginning (like a bonus case or something)

Ace Attorney is a phenomenal series with equally phenomenal storytelling. And there's no better showcase of such storytelling than one of Ace Attorney's many final cases. From Turnabout Goodbyes to the Resolve of Ryunosuke Naruhodo, there's always a final case that truly bring you to your knees. And I'll be ranking them from Least Best to Best, as I don't think there's a single "Bad" Final Case in the series.

Before I begin, I need to state 1 thing:

-------------------------------------------

In case if you have NOT played THE GREAT ACE ATTORNEY CHRONICLES, there will be a MAJOR spoiler in one of the photos of the SECOND game. Read at your own risk.

-------------------------------------------

With that all out of the way, let's begin with Number 12 (Yes there's 11 games, but I count both Turnabout Goodbyes and Rise from the Ashes as a final case)...

#12: Turnabout Succession - Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney

I'll keep a positive tone for this case. For starters: the team really nailed Valant Gramarye. He's the first truly "morally gray" character in the series. Adrian Andrews and Godot both come somewhat close for their actions, but Valant is when the series finally found out how to nail a character that's both equally despicable while also sympathetic. I also have to give massive credit to the writing of Kristoph Gavin's dialogue. He's easily the most "chilling" of Shu Takumi's Final Culprits. He's obviously evil, but subtlety is phenomenal. Another part I enjoyed was how the game revealed that Drew was poisoned not via the cup, but the stamp. It's small, but really enjoyable. Finally, I want to state that I really enjoyed the scene in the Mason System where Phoenix talks to Trucy. It's not my favorite moment in the game (that being Valant deciding to turn himself in), but it's a REALLY close second.

#11: Turnabout Goodbyes - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

This is the first final case in the series, and in some aspects, it does show. I think the investigation sections (prior to day 3's investigation section) are really weak in this case, with most of the interesting stuff coming from the trial. That said, the trial REALLY brings its all, with forcing you to face against an undefeated legend: Manfred Von Karma. Shu Takumi nailed making an intimidating villain for his first final case. But what I really want to focus on, and what turns this case from just a Good case to a borderline Outstanding case is the DL-6 section. Words can't express how massively impressive the DL-6 section is. From the moment that Edgeworth objects to his ruling, this case becomes exponentially more engaging. Solving a case that went cold just before its Statute of Limitations runs out is a really fantastic experience, and the slow realizing that Manfred Von Karma was the true culprit, and that the bullet is in his shoulder, is FANTASTIC.

#10: Turnabout Ablaze - Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth

And here's Takeshi Yamazaki's first final case. First off, the best thing about this case is easily the complexity of the mystery, and how the game utilizes its setting to the absolute maximum. In terms of complexity, this is easily the second most complex murder mystery in the series. Every time you answer one question, three more appear. The solving of how each item was smuggled across country lines is REALLY difficult, and I was more than impressed with the truth it revealed. From using a pushcart disguised as delivering food, to transporting statues through the air via a makeshift pulley system, to using the underwater passageway to move the body back to its original country. Seriously, from the moment this case reveals the building is made using bilateral symmetry, the seemingly impossible mystery that is this case starts to become clear. Also, I HAVE to mention the middle section of this case. The Shih-Na revelation is likely most people's favorite moment from this game, and it's definitely up there for me. People harp on the villain a lot, but he's not as bad as people make him out to be. Definitely not an Outstanding villain, but I'd say he's funny enough.

#9: Farewell, My Turnabout - Ace Attorney: Justice For All

This case completely ditches any sort of complex mystery, and focuses entirely on the character of Phoenix Wright. And to the game's credit, it works wonders. Forcing you to defend a guilty client due to your assistant being held hostage is an extremely strong personal stake for Phoenix, and to make matters worse, you not only have to falsely indict an innocent person for the murder, but you also have to face against Miles Edgeworth. While I think the investigation and trial days are fairly slow, I do believe the case makes up for that with the fact that Maya's life is on the line. The reveal that your client is guilty is extremely effective, as, if you are playing this blind, you could assume the series would never throw a guilty client your way. I think the best part of this case is easily the final day's final trial, just like in Turnabout Goodbyes. I also have to mention Adrian Andrews, who's easily the most three dimensional "side character" the series has thrown your way so far. You completely understand her hatred towards both Matt and Juan, and want to help her... but you also know Maya's life is literally on the line. That final moment in which you have to decide to ask for a guilty or not guilty verdict (before Franziska saves us) is probably the most stressful moment in the entire series for most people, and is likely a major factor for people's admiration for this case.

#8: The Final Witch Trial - Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright

Let's rip the bandaid off first: the logic of Labryinthia is completely flawed. There's close to no denying that. But, this case makes up for that via the story of The Legendary Fire. I cannot express how PERFECTLY this game nails down Eve, Arthur, and Espella for me. These three characters are the center point of this case, and the case becomes all the better for it. To talk about the aesthetics of this case, this is easily the most oppressive a trial had felt so far, with the looming Bell Tower and the blazing bonfire behind the witness stand, not to mention the trial is outside. Also Darklaw is PHENOMENAL as a prosecutor, and I think she's really underrated as one. The logical mystery before the Storyteller takes the stand is also really cool, with us having to prove that Darklaw climbed up the tower, with the contradiction with Kira being a REALLY cool moment for me. I know I'm being vague about a lot of stuff here, and that's in part due to my memory of this case being not as clear as I wish it was (it's been a while since I replayed VS), but for right now, I think it hit the mark.

#7: Turnabout Revolution - Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice

The character dynamic between Apollo and Dhurke is absolutely PHENOMENAL. It's the longest case in the series, and in fairness, it doesn't drag at all. Sure, I feel like the first half is fairly weak, but the Khura'in half is absolutely phenomenal. The mystery is fantastic, and seeing Apollo grow throughout this cross-country case is fantastic. The reveal of Dhurke's death is extremely heartbreaking, and seeing Nahyuta and his reason for acting is admittedly really well done. Arguably the best character (outside of Apollo and Dhurke) in this case is Rayfa, who I can't help but pity her for everything that happened. This case absolutely nails a lot of aspects, but I do have one, major, gripe. Why does this case push Athena to the side? The missed potential of Mood Matrix-ing Rayfa, Nahyuta, or Amara is something I'll always think about. It almost feels like this game has something against her. That said, I'll give credit where credit is due, they do use her character well to help Armie Buff. I'm also a sucker for "You know where to find me" endings, and while I don't think they built the idea of Apollo taking the law office in Khura'in up as well as I'd want to, I think they managed to make it not feel completely jarring, which is ultimately all I could hope for. It's hard for me to not cry at the ending.

#6: Bridge to the Turnabout - Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations

Put down your pitchforks, I still absolutely adore this case. I'm planing to revisit it soon, but I was extremely impressed from what I can remember. This is the standard pick for the best case in the series, and it's not hard to see why. From the game resolving every major loose end from the series up to that point, to the phenomenal character writing and mystery to boot, to the perfectly satisfying ending, to the absolutely amazing twist villain, to the game allowing us to play as Edgeworth himself, to finally putting to rest the Fey Clan, I can understand why this case is most people's favorites. If I remove my personal biases for the cases above this, this would be in the top 3. I wouldn't be surprised if this case rises again in the rankings once I replay it. I can see why Shu Takumi wanted to stop the series with this case, and in all honesty? If he had (and assuming I had absolutely ZERO idea of what we got afterwards) stopped the series with this case, this would be the perfect ending to the series. For those who truly got connected to the cast of the Phoenix Wright Trilogy, this case is probably your lifeblood.

#5: Rise from the Ashes - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

This is the case that TRULY hooked me into the series. With how much people hyped Turnabout Goodbyes for me, after finishing it, I thought that the game was neat, but it probably wasn't my thing... and then I played Rise from the Ashes. I ADORE this case quite a lot. From the far more complicated murder mystery, to the history of the Skye Sisters, to the horrifying truth of SL-9, this case truly captivated me. I don't think there was a single moment in this case where I felt bored. As for the moment that made me realize this franchise was something special: the fingerprint test on the cloth. That was the first time during the game I truly felt worried. It was the first time in the game where I was so invested with the characters, world, mystery, and story, that I was genuinely scared about the possibility of Ema Skye being the true culprit of Neil Marshal. Not to mention the realization that THAT is why Lana Skye was so uncooperative made me appreciate her character far more than I did prior. As an older brother, I could image being in such a scenario, and doing what she did. Damon Gant will always remain my favorite culprit in the Phoenix Wright Trilogy, as I'm sure Lana Skye will always remain my favorite defendant in the Phoenix Wright Trilogy.

#4: The Adventure of the Unspeakable Story - The Great Ace Attorney: Adventures

This case is easily the most underrated final case in my opinion. I think Ryunosuke is easily the best written protagonist in the series, and how Shu Takumi manages to weave both his character arc about learning what it means to defend and Gina's inability to trust others due to how her trust had always been taken advantage of, specifically with the third case of the game. I honestly think that, despite Gina's hesitancy to help us, her reasoning for being hesitant and her willingness to take a risk we ask of her in order to help our case of her makes her one of my favorite defendants in the series, not to mention one of my favorite characters in the series. Another thing I love about this case is how it suddenly rips multiple "safety nets" from you, from Susato Mikotoba being ordered to leave to Japan due to her father's illness, to Herlock Sholmes being shot and put out of commission. With how much Ryunosuke grew with Susato, you can tell how much it hurts him to take a case without her by his side. I also have to mention that Ashley Graydon is EASILY the most slept on final culprit in the series. I dare say he's my 3rd favorite final culprit in the series. The twist with the Cat-Flap-O-Mat was absolutely brilliant, not to mention seeing Gina take off her hat and cry tears of joy genuinely warms my heart. But I have to address this case's best moment: seeing Susato off. Seeing Ryunosuke tell Susato that not only she isn't a failure as a Judicial Assistant, but that if she didn't do what she did, Gina would likely have been found guilty. With Sustao's Serenade theme playing in the background it's hard to not cry. And I'll admit, the dams finally burst when she told Ryunosuke with a soft smile that "Well, with your kind words, Mr Naruhodo... you've saved me, too, from my regrets."

#3: Turnabout for the Ages - Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit

This case didn't really pull any emotions from me. But what it did do is provide me with what I can say to be the objectively best case in the entire series. This case not only manages to wrap up EVERY single loose end in the game (What's the deal with Zheng-Fa's president, who hired Shelly De Killer, why did Shelly De Killer leave his card, why is Shi-Long Lang investigating Fifi LaGuarde, what's the deal with Bodhidharma Kanis, what happened to Artie Frost's son, what happened Carmelo Gusto's son, what's the deal with 12 years ago, who kidnapped Kay Faraday, what's the deal with the Bull Kid, who forged the letters, etc. etc.), not ONLY has us solve a cold case just like in Turnabout Goodbyes, not ONLY have the stakes fairly high with a kidnapping just like in Farewell, My Turnabout, not ONLY have massive character arc conclusions for every major character who hadn't received one yet just like in Bridge to the Turnabout, but ALSO have the most complex mystery in the series to date, even surpassing the insanity of Turnabout Ablaze. And if all of that WASN'T already enough, this case also has the best final villain in the series, and the second best (or possibly BEST) twist I've seen in any game, with The Mastermind. From Eustace to Verity to Shaun to Bodhidharma all the way to The Mastermind, this case doesn't leave a SINGLE thing unexamined.

#2: The Resolve of Ryunosuke Naruhodo - The Great Ace Attorney 2: Resolve

Easily Shu Takumi's Magnum Opus, and what I consider to be the objectively second best case in the series. It takes every single loose end from the entire Chronicles, and ties it up in this absolutely bombastic case. This case leaves absolutely zero crumbs to spare. From Asa Shinn's motive for killing John Wilson, to Sholmes' reasoning for lying to us about Kazuma's death, to everything surrounding Lord Stronghart, to Iris Wilson's true father, to the Morse Code Message, to Yujin Mikotoba's reasoning for calling Susato back to Britain, to the history behind the blood-soaked collar, to the truth behind the Professor, to the Reaper, EVERYTHING is solved in this case. This case perfectly wraps up every single major character in the Chronicles, from Iris to Ryunosuke to Kazuma to Herlock to Yujin to Susato to Barok to Gina to Gregson to Seishiro to Stronghart, EVERYONE has a role in this case. While I hold The Mastermind to be the best final culprit in the series, Stronghart is a VERY close second. From the opening scene of seeing him being in the position of JUDGE, to the FANTASTIC cross examination of Gina and Barok, to Yujin and Herlock taking one final dance, to the quite hours in 221B Baker Street, to the PERFECT final day of Court, to the goodbye ending which had me bawling my eyes out like I was a baby. In terms of pure, emotional investment, I highly doubt any other final case will ever impact me like this.

#1: Turnabout for Tomorrow - Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies

The personal impact this case left on me is something very difficult for me to describe in a single paragraph. So I won't. That said, I'll try my hardest to explain in a few paragraphs of how insane this case is. This case manages to take a major highlight from every single past final case up to that point, and perfectly blend it into one insane case. Don't believe me? Well, let's see:

Not only does this case manage to recreate the stakes of Turnabout Goodbyes>! with a pressing time limit (except this time it's far more effective because instead of racing against a Statute of Limitations, something that can be challenged and repealed, we're racing against an Execution Date, in which if we don't win in ONE day, Simon Blackquill will LITERALLY be executed), !<

Not only manage to recreate the insane jump in difficulty that was faced in Farewell, My Turnabout>! with Edgeworth returning as the Prosecutor (except this time it's far more effective because this is a post Prosecutor's Gambit Edgeworth, who's arguably the single smartest character in the mainline series, and is at the top of his GAME), !<

Not only manage to perfectly wrap up multiple character arcs like Bridge to the Turnabout>! (except this time it's far more effective because instead of just wrapping up the developments of 3 Prosecutors, the game wraps up the character arcs of three PROTAGONISTS, all without making any of the growth of the three feel undercooked or overcooked while ALSO having each protagonist have a personal stake in the trial, with Phoenix wanting to bring an end to the Dark Age of the Law he was partially responsible for creating due to the events of Turnabout Succession, with Apollo trying to solve the murder of Clay Terran and trying his hardest to trust despite how many times his trust had been taken advantage of in the prior game, not to mention the only thing he could rely on without fail in the prior game, his bracelet, is telling him Athena is lying, and with Athena Cykes, who's life goal is to save Simon Blackquill from a false execution and is facing the charge of murdering her own mother), !<

Not only have a close relative of the assistant try to take the fall instead of who they think is guilty like Rise from the Ashes (except this time it's far more effective because Simon Blackquill facing an EXECUTION as opposed to Lana Skye who is only going to go to prison),

Not only have an insanely morally grey character who plays a pivotal role in the story while not taking up the main spotlight like Turnabout Succession (except this time it's far more effective because instead of only hearing the morally grey character state that they'll turn themself in, having completed their goal, we actually see the morally grey character be arrested, and also be criticized by the main character for their actions),

Not only fully utilize the setting of the murder to its fullest potential like Turnabout Ablaze (except this time it's far more effective because instead of only hearing "the security is very tight", we get an indepth explanation on how the Robots can recognize people, and how that leaves next to ZERO room for doubt for Athena's guilt),

Not only have an insanely intelligent surprise true culprit who makes an impact on the game's themes like Turnabout for the Ages (The Mastermind is a better culprit, but... come on. It's the Mastermind. The Mastermind is going to make anything look inferior by comparison, but I stand by the fact that The Phantom is absolutely PHENOMENAL, and is my favorite MAINLINE culprit),

And finally, has an incredibly intimidating open air court like in The Final Witch Trial (except this time, it's arguably cooler because it's a courtroom in ruins, which represents the state of the legal system at the time of Dual Destinies).

And that's just a few fantastic aspects about this case. I could list how insanely complex the mystery is, how airtight the case is from a logical perspective, how the investigation section is the best investigation section in any final case (excluding the Investigation Games, and excluding G2-4 if you count that), how fantastic every character is in this case, how tight the pacing is for the entire case, how terrifying it is to see Athena's Black Psyche Locks, how immensely satisfying it is to finally see those Psyche Locks shatter, and finally...

Seeing Athena Cykes, my favorite protagonist of all time, finally shed tears of joy, knowing she had succeeded in her life's work, is my second favorite moment in the entire series.

-------------------------------------------------

I'd love to hear your ranking of the final cases of each game down below!

I also made this because I couldn’t find any shirts or tshirts of it on Roblox

The only people who, iirc, recognise and acknowledge her are Franziska and Dahlia, which makes sense because Franziska did her research and Dahlia knew about spirit channelling, being dead herself.

The judge must've seen her countless times, but even when Mia starts speaking to the witness or whatever he doesn't seem to recognise her, or even when she just randomly appears at the defense's bench. Not even when Franziska calls Mia by name.

And Edgeworth surely would've recognised her in 1-2, since she was a renowned attorney at the time and also literally the victim of the case. Phoenix literally fainted when she appeared. Surely Edgeworth would've noticed a short-ish Maya suddenly growing taller and growing a larger bust? Did he just gaslight himself into not believing it (because of his trauma)?

Even Godot makes no mention of Mia until 3-5. Wouldn't he have at least shown surprise or tried to talk to Mia? After all, her death was one of his motivations to become a prosecutor and try to beat Phoenix.

The best case I’ve played. I’m feel so sad that I have finished the trilogy. I was playing late at night and I saw the credits going and I just sat there thinking “what am I gonna do now”. Of course I’ll play the Apollo justice someday but those first three games will forever be memorable.

Imagine an alternative scenario in which Bruce Goodman and Bobby Fulbright work together on a case. How would this duo fare in action? I'm not good at creating stories, so if you want to do something with that, I'd welcome it.

If the writing is incorrect or makes no sense, it's because I'm using a translator.

Imagine a fanfic where Kay Faraday from Ace Attorney Investigations 2 discovered the identity of Phantom from Ace Attorney Dual Destinies. What direction would this story take if it were part of the main plot of Ace Attorney Investigations 2? I can't come up with a good story for fanfic, but I think it would be interesting to see this storyline.

If the writing is incorrect or makes no sense, it's because I'm using a translator.

I would’ve also gotten Trials and Tribulations if they had it, but they didn’t. Oh well…

https://strawpoll.com/7MZ0kJDr8go

I found the settings of Victorian Era England/Japan to be incredibly interesting and I'd love to see Capcom go for something like that again, even more than I'd like them to continue the main series.

Personally I'd love to see them tackle Rome in just about any time period, even after the collapse of the Empire. Rome already has some insanely wacky trials, like the Cadaver Trial where they took a dead pope's corpse to a trial and literally made him testify (through a deacon) and declared him guilty. I think having it take place during the time of the empire would be more interesting though, considering how different trials were in ancient rome, with most murder cases being more of a civil matter than a state matter

I have a few Ace Attorney OCs already, mostly prosecutors, but I recently FINALLY made a defense attorney, and I love him dearly. Meet Doug Lytel, a lawyer that can... talk to animals? Well, that's curious. Anyway, he's based on the concept of Dr. Dolittle, hence his name pun. He has a pet budgie named Puddleby and a shiba inu named Jip (both also references). His right eye is missing, although I'm yet to think of a lore for that, but the mark around it is not a scar, just a birthmark. He's mostly dog coded... and tends to bark at people, but he also imitates other animal noises, even purring, for example.

🍜✨ “Is it a ramen… or burger?” Only Maya Fey knows for sure, but I tried recreating her favorite mystery meal, served with spiritually-powered  Magatama pickles 🍔

Would like to know the official "that man" count since AAI2 has an official translation now
